You may remember him from his contribution to Amiga Power, but we know him from his current run on Thor, this past summer’s Beta Ray Bill: Godhunter, Phonogram, and many other fantastic reads.  Kieron Gillen joins us for a lively conversation about previewing comic stories, Marvel’s Siege, X-Men: S.W.O.R.D. and the balance of being a good dad versus being a good God of War.

This Wednesday, December 30th, is the start of Indy Comic Book Week (ICBW).  Dozens of creators nationwide generated brand new books just for this occasion and will have books available at stores all over this great country of ours.  In today’s show, we chat with two of the guys behind ICBW, Jake Ekiss and Vinh Luan Luu.  We discuss the weather, art education, the genesis of Indy Comic Book Week, and – oh yes – my hand.

Jake’s Solomon Azua with letters by Luan debuts Wednesday.  Both Jake and Luan contributed to the David Hopkins anthology mini-comic  One Night Stand which comes out Wednesday as well.  There are TONS of great books you’ve never heard of coming out this week.  Check with your friendly local comic shop to get your hands on them.

Werewolves.  Police procedural.  Mix the two together and you get the first joint property from Top Cow and Heroes & Villains Entertainment! Tracker is the story of Alex O’Roark, the FBI’s top tracker, who has his perfect life ripped to shreds when a case to capture the world’s most dangerous serial killer leads him straight into the maw of a werewolf. Now, keeping his secret from his gorgeous fiancé and the FBI, he must hunt down the wolf that infected him before the disease turns him into a monster.

Paul had a chance recently to sit with Jonathan Lincoln, the writer of Tracker, and they talked about the series, as well as Lincoln’s unique take on the werewolf mythology, and all kinds of horror goodness!  The second issue of Tracker is due out in stores TODAY!

We recently had the good fortune to visit with Jake Parker.  “Visit” is the appropriate word as Jake is just good company this episode being more a recording of three guys chatting rather than interview.  That said, we still ask him a lot about his background, his animation career (Titan A.E), and his upcoming Missile Mouse from Scholastic.

I feel bad for Paul.  I never let him get a word in edge-wise in our interview with comics legend Marv Wolfman.  I’m a huge fan of Marv’s work.  He was generously indulgent of my near hour long gushing over him.

We discuss his ground breaking work on Tomb of Dracula, the creation of the New Teen Titans with George Perez, and authoring the revolutionary Crisis on the Infinite Earths.  To top it off we chat about lots of the characters he’s created over the years including Blade, Nightwing, Black Cat, Bullseye, and NKVDemon (or maybe he didn’t do that one).
